This just in – Qu’rans will NOT be burned in Florida on September 11th

According to this America Online news report, pastor Terry Jones of the Dove Evangelical Church in Florida has changes his plans to have a public demonstration and Qu’ran burning on September 11th – and, according to his news conference, he will not burn any of the Islamic holy books on that day, or on any other day. He also spoke out to dissuade anyone else from burning Qu’rans on that day.

He will now focus his efforts on going to New York City and convincing Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf to move the proposed mosque and Islamic cultural center away from its current location at Ground Zero.

No matter what your faith, any desecration of another religion’s holy treasures and gospels is contemptible. Let this be the first step toward reconciliation of all religions and faiths.

And maybe, just maybe, 9/11 can be a day of healing, and not just a day of heartache.
